Farm in Tomar, Portugal, 260 m²

Property at a Glance

A Rare Portuguese Estate with Full Tourism Approvals

Nestled in the rolling landscape of Ribatejo, just 15 minutes from the magnificent UNESCO-listed Templar town of Tomar and 1h30 by train from Lisbon Oriente, this 1.8-hectare estate is one of Portugal’s most compelling investment opportunities. With a fully approved agro-tourism development project in hand — including rare RAN and REN authorisations that are increasingly difficult to obtain — the hard work has been done for you.

The Main Residence

The elegant main house spans two floors plus a charming tower that surveys the entire domain and surrounding countryside. It offers:

• 7 bedrooms
• Space for 3 bathrooms and 2 kitchens
• A private walled garden attached directly to the house
• A signature tower providing panoramic views over the estate

Outbuildings with Outstanding Conversion Potential

A collection of substantial outbuildings — fully separated from the main house by a pedestrian road, ensuring owners’ complete privacy — are approved for conversion into income-generating accommodation:

• Large barn → convertible 2-bedroom independent flat with access to a private citrus garden
• Large house → convertible 6 en-suite boutique accommodation building
• Large water tank → unique covered workshop or exhibition/events space
• Small attached building alongside the tank
• 60 m² workshop space
• 1-bedroom cottage — move-in ready today
• A beautiful natural swimming pool with waterfall — approved in the project

The Land — Productive and Beautiful

The 1.8 hectares surrounding the buildings are planted with:

• 75 olive trees producing award-quality extra virgin olive oil
• Fig trees, walnut trees, orange, lemon, kaki (persimmon) trees
• Nesperas (loquat) and other fruit trees
• Citrus garden adjacent to the barn conversion

A discreet, sunken railway line runs nearby — a single-track, low-frequency line running between two curves, adjacent to a station. It is virtually silent and barely perceptible from the estate.

Authorisations — A Decisive Competitive Advantage

All necessary permits have been secured, including:

• Full agro-tourism renovation project approved by Tomar Câmara
• RAN (National Agricultural Reserve) authorisation
• REN (National Ecological Reserve) authorisation
• Infraestruturas de Portugal authorisation
• E-redes authorisation

These approvals are notoriously difficult to obtain and are expected to become even more restrictive. Buying this estate means bypassing years of bureaucratic process.

Investment & Business Plan

The estate is ideally structured as a premium owner-occupied agro-tourism destination. The main house serves as the private family residence while the outbuildings generate a diversified, multi-stream rental income. Below is a conservative projection based on mid-range occupancy rates for the Tomar/Central Portugal market.
